This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is 
report bp-e7bb817d-8812-4f7f-8cf1-2f4442161016.
=============================================================

I got this crash after saving a file download. I can reproduce this (2/2 so far anyway) and I'll try to make a reduced test case.
Attached file Test case
Load the file, click the button. It will prompt you to save a file (this is generated in JS). Then the browser crashes. 100% reproducible for me.
I can only repro in Nightly, other channels seem ok.

To clarify the STR, you have to actually save the file before the browser will crash.
Uh... having looked at the changes I made a second time, I don't know why they would cause this. Though actually, I suppose I would have made the code run (like at all) where it would have bailed out earlier, with some of the basic fixes that enabled this for non-release versions. So hopefully this is good news in that we're catching a bug that might have happened on release otherwise?

I'm not sure what the error means. A bit of googling seems to suggest that maybe this type of collection doesn't like it if the value is null, so maybe we should nullcheck file/source/referrer URLs? Apparently either that, or we should create the dictionary differently (not sure if that's possible here because we get the dictionary from someone else and then get a mutable copy/reference somehow)  or we should pass an explicit NSNull instead of an actuall nullptr. Not sure what would be best. Josh has left, so Markus, can you help me out?
